Procurement agents for construction,pay apps, retention, and subcontracts.
General contractors and owners reconcile subcontractor pay applications, retention, stored materials, and change orders against subcontracts and budgets. Rental and materials invoices reference job codes that AP cannot verify without the superintendent. Agents match pay apps to contract schedules, review subcontract clauses, and monitor sub-tier risk on active jobs.
Equipment rental invoice with job number
Scenario: A construction equipment rental invoice for a job site, listing excavator and scaffolding rentals by day, with job number and PO reference; the agent should catch a duplicated line item and a rental period that overlaps a previously billed period.

Run it on your own documentProcurement challenges in construction & engineering
Pay applications bundle percent-complete and retention
Each billing cycle mixes new work, stored materials, and retainage releases that must tie to the schedule of values.
Lien waiver and insurance compliance is manual
AP holds payment until waivers and COI endorsements arrive, often chasing subs by email.
Change orders outpace contract updates
Field-initiated changes create PO and budget drift that shows up only during audit or closeout.
Sub-tier failure stalls critical trades
Mechanical and electrical subs with thin balance sheets pose schedule risk that is invisible in a single pay app.
Workflows with human checkpoints
Each workflow names the agent, what teams do today, what the agent automates, and where a person must approve.
Subcontractor pay apps and supplier invoices
Invoice Agent- Today
- Project accountants verify SOV lines, retention, and lien waivers before AP cuts checks.
- With the agent
- The Invoice Agent maps pay app lines to subcontract SOV, prior billings, and retention rules, and flags missing waiver references you require.
- Human checkpoint
- Project managers and AP release payment only when compliance items are satisfied or explicitly waived.
Subcontracts, MSAs, and bond requirements
Contract Agent- Today
- Legal stores executed subcontracts while field teams work from outdated rates in the estimating system.
- With the agent
- The Contract Agent extracts indemnity, insurance limits, pay-if-paid clauses, and notice periods, comparing them to your construction playbook.
- Human checkpoint
- Legal and preconstruction approve redlines before subs execute.
Change orders and field purchases
Intake Agent- Today
- Supers request materials and rental extensions by text; buyers code POs under time pressure.
- With the agent
- The Intake Agent ties requests to job, cost code, and budget, routes owner approvals when thresholds are exceeded, and drafts POs against master agreements.
- Human checkpoint
- Owners or GC executives approve budget transfers before PO release.
Sub-tier and rental house risk
Supplier Risk- Today
- Prequalification is project-based; financial distress surfaces when equipment does not show up on site.
- With the agent
- Supplier Risk monitors financial and safety signals for subs and rental vendors active on your jobs, linked to open PO and contract value.
- Human checkpoint
- Project executives decide backup subs or bond claims—not the agent.

Questions buyers ask
Can agents verify percent-complete?
They compare billed amounts to SOV and prior periods you provide; physical percent-complete still requires superintendent sign-off in your process.
Do you integrate with Procore, Viewpoint, or SAP PS?
Pilot scope maps to your job cost and document sources. The demo uses synthetic jobs; production connects via API or agreed exports.
How are lien waivers tracked?
Agents can require waiver document IDs or statuses you store; they do not record liens with county clerks on your behalf.
Will agents approve change orders?
No. They route and document; owners and GC project managers approve scope and budget impact.
How is ProcureAI priced?
Engagements start with a fixed-price pilot scoped to one workflow and document type. Request terms at stellitron.com/contact; the live demo here uses synthetic data only.
